Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for my irregular menstruation and had an ultrasound done. The results are as follows:Findings: The uterus is retroverted, with clear margins, measuring approximately 39x36x39mm. The is uniform, with no obvious mass echoes. The endometrial cavity line is clear and central, with a thickness of 4mm. The cervix is 24mm long.
?????? The left ovary is 31x25mm, with more than 10 anechoic areas visible, the largest measuring 7mm. The right ovary is 30x20mm, with more than 10 anechoic areas visible, the largest measuring 5mm.
?????? CDFI: Blood flow in the uterus and bilateral adnexal regions is normal, with no obvious abnormal blood flow signals.
What is the problem? The doctor told me not to hurry, but didn't say what the issue was.
Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as polycystic ovary disease, is a condition whose causes remain unclear. Currently, the medical community believes that it is primarily related to endocrine dysfunction. It often results from factors such as mental stress, drug abuse, or other diseases, leading to endocrine disorders in the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis. This disrupts the balance between follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secreted by the pituitary gland. Due to the decrease in FSH and the increase in LH, the ovarian follicles fail to develop fully and fail to ovulate, forming cystic follicles, which eventually lead to polycystic ovaries. Clinically, it is characterized by chronic anovulation, amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, and polycystic enlargement of the ovaries. Diagnosis can be confirmed through ultrasound examinations and hormone level tests. Western medicine typically uses hormone-based medications, but long-term use of such drugs can damage liver and kidney function. It is recommended that you take "Guiling Xiaoliu Wan," which is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation and has a very effective therapeutic effect.
